Tempting offer
In the old, walled city of Ahmedabad, aspirations are running high. Here, New India is wooing the Old India with its seductive charms. In its damp, serpentine lanes dotted with decaying elegant homes, I spotted a chalk-written advertisement on the building of a house restored with the help of the French government: "Feel like heaven, Come to Scotland and Paris for $250," followed by a telephone number. I was so tempted I had half a mind to call up the number to find out more details about what must be the cheapest tourist package out of India. But I had the train to catch - tonight, we leave Ahmedabad for our next destination, Mumbai.
